In a surprising turn of events, Congress national spokesperson Professor Gourav Vallabh has tendered his resignation from the party, citing discomfort with certain ideological stances and the party’s lack of direction. Vallabh, who has been a prominent face representing the Congress in television debates on finance and economy-related matters, expressed his disillusionment in a heartfelt letter addressed to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
Reasons for Gourav Vallabh Resignation:
- Anti-Sanatan Slogans: Vallabh stated that he could no longer endorse the party’s stance on raising anti-Sanatan slogans. His disagreement with this approach led to a growing sense of unease within him.
- Treatment of Wealth Creators: The former Congress spokesperson expressed his dissatisfaction with the party’s consistent criticism of wealth creators. Vallabh believes that economic policies should not vilify those who contribute to the nation’s prosperity.
- Ram Mandir Issue: Vallabh also expressed his disapproval of the party’s position on the Ram Mandir. The silence of the Congress when party leaders spoke against the ‘sanatan’ further added to his discontent.
In His Own Words:
“I am uncomfortable with the directionless way in which the Congress Party is moving forward today. I can neither raise anti-Sanatan slogans nor abuse the wealth creators of the country all day long, which is why I am resigning from all posts and primary membership of the Congress Party.” – Professor Gourav Vallabh 123
Vallabh’s departure from the Congress comes ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, leaving the party to grapple with the loss of a seasoned spokesperson. His decision highlights the internal challenges faced by political parties as they navigate ideological differences and seek a coherent path forward.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has wasted no time in welcoming Vallabh into its fold. Party leaders expressed confidence in his abilities and welcomed his decision to join their ranks.
As the political landscape continues to shift, Vallabh’s resignation serves as a reminder that convictions and principles can sometimes lead individuals to make difficult choices. The Congress Party, now without one of its articulate voices, must regroup and strategize as it faces the electoral battle ahead.
